Full precision:1e-16 GJ

Step-by-Step Solution

To convert 1 ergs to gigajoules, we divide by 1e+16 because one gigajoule equals exactly 1e+16 ergs.

1 gigajoule = 1e+16 ergs

Since there are 1e+16 ergs in every gigajoule, we divide our value by this factor:

1 ÷ 1e+16 = 1e-16 gigajoules

So 1 ergs = 1e-16 gigajoules.

✓Quick check: 1e-16 × 1e+16 = 1 ergs

How to Convert Ergs to Gigajoules

To convert ergs to gigajoules, divide the value by 1e+16.

Gigajoules = Ergs ÷ 1e+16

1 gigajoule = 1e+16 ergs

Tip: To convert gigajoules back to ergs, multiply by 1e+16.

Example 1: 1 erg = 1e-16 GJ
1 ÷ 1e+16 = 1e-16

Example 2: 5 erg = 5e-16 GJ
5 ÷ 1e+16 = 5e-16

Example 3: 10 erg = 1e-15 GJ
10 ÷ 1e+16 = 1e-15
